Stop! Don't throw away all those holiday candle stubs. And don't throw them in a cabinet to gather dust and take up space until you move and then have to throw them out anyway.
Here's how to prepare your candle bits and pieces for long term storage. It's easy, minimizes storage space and gives you multiple color choices when you want to make some candles of your own.
Did you ever make milk carton candles as a kid? I learned how in Girl Scouts and will show how in Monday's post.
We had the world's best den mother. She let us do the candles in her home kitchen and use her hand mixer to whip the wax up like snow to coat our candles.
That is so clever, Eileen! Well done!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Not only for the Christmas candles, but all year through!
ReplyDeleteI used to love making sand candles when I was a kid. These leftovers would work well, wouldn't they?
ReplyDeleteYes, Drew, they would be good for sand candles.
